Identify the MAC address of his PC

First we need to know which OS you are using because the procedure to identify the MAC address in both window and linux is different.

For windows :

Open command prompt then type 'getmac' this will list you all the adaptors mac address in the output.

For linux :

Open terminal give 'ifconfig' command which will list you the information about all the adaptors with IP address and few other details.

Here you need to check for HWaddr part in the output which is nothing but the mac address of the adaptors installed in your system.

I thinks this would be helpful for you.
